When You Wish Upon A Star
Should we apply wishful thinking to a divine God?

Hi, this is Dave Scherrerrer of 100 Fold Ministries. You've found Kingdom Offerings. This is the podcast environment of our work, and I'm wondering whether you recognize this song. I want to play a few measures of this song for you, see if you know it.
When you wish upon a star, make no difference who you are, Anything your heart desires will come to you. If your heart is in your dreams, no request is too extreme. When you wish upon a star, as dreamers do. So if you know that song, you have some memory of it, maybe you've heard another version of it, but that's the song that Jiminy Cricket sang when kindly old Geppetto was longing for a real little boy instead of just a wooden puppet.

Our acts of kindness, done in the name of Jesus, with the purpose of serving and blessing others also serve to lay aside treasures in heaven that glorify and exalt our King. This constitutes the kingdom coming on earth as it is in heaven - we become the answer to the Lord’s prayer.
God's economy of spiritual profit, which He's interested in, is not based on anything that has a worldly value associated with it.
